Hooper. From the Aberdeen Examlupr, Capt. Hooper was about thirty-two years ot age at tbe time ot bis death and was the eldest son of the late Johnston Hooper, of Montgomery Alabama, whose reputation as a wri ter and editor is familiar to all of our readers. At the beginning of the war he re ceived a commission as Lieutenant of Artillery in the Provisional served nobly as a soldier until the ces sation of hostilities. Seeking that independence which oniy can do tue reward ot manly effort.

he walked from Alabama to North Louisiana, after the war, with his knapsack on his back, seeking employment, and if we remember riirhtlv re turned to this side of the river in 1865, and coming to Aberdeen, was emnlov- ed in the law office of Messrs. Houston Reynolds, where he arduously pur- aueu me tstuuy oi tne proiesaion to which he seemed so well adapted by nature and culture. About the time of his admission to tbe Jtsar, be was married to Miss Car rle Smith, of this city, and shortly afterwards became associated in the practice of law with Gen. S. J.

Ghol son, and from that day until the last uis progress was such as gave his friends every reason to be proud of uiui, iuc ue was unuouoteuiy one ot tue most taienteo anu promising men ofhis aga in the State if not in the South. Capt. Hooper leaves a broken hearted wife, a widowed mother, a brother and two little children to mourn him with that deathless grief that balks all efforts at assuaging; and in every portion of our county friends bouud to him by such ties as seldom unite man to man without a common paternity, will weep for him as for a brother gone down to the cold and silent grave. When a California vanquero gets mad with a Chinaman he lassoes him, and after tying one end of the lasao to the pommel of the saddle, puts opure to nis norse and drags tue urn- numan after him.

I inadvertently omitted the names of Mr. J.N.Bailey of the Independent and Mr. urimunoru of the Free Press from the list of those who so kindly and generously exerteu fhemoplvpH tn render our visit agreea ble. These gentlemen together with Mr. Knapp, of the Journal, Mr.

Ken-f thn Moravia Beaister and Mr. B. Brockway of the Watertown Times, did us the honor to accompany our party as far as Oswego where we were taken charee of by Mr, Place of the Oswee-o Times. At miles from Oswego, we were met by a large delegation, composed of Members of the Common Counoil, Board of Trade, Board of Education. Citv 'officials, representatives of tbe press, and prominent private citizens (including several laoiesj headed by the Mayor of Oswego, Mr.

Pouoher. who had come up ou the steamer Alanson Sumner, to escort us back to their beautiful and prosperous city. Among the citizsn3 ot tue dele gation were ataer reiuei uuu auuiu-pr nriest whose name I did not learn, of the Roman Catholic Church who were assiduous in their polite aud delicate attentions. Father Peltier mis tnnk mp. for an Irishman, whereat we had quite a hearty laugb when the fact was made Known auu iiis uiiaiano ieu-fcvfied.

Ah the o-nv steamer moved off from Fairhaven, Superintendent Kuapp and the conductor aud engineer of the train on the Southern' Central bade us Bflipn Lhroueh the medium of the steam whistle to which the captain of the Sumner, on behalf of the excursionists, sentback a responsa from the t.il nllonF ftrwft: 'PhlQ in cident, which many may consider trifling, was looked upon by our party in niiim a different lifrht. It made man ifest a heart iu the business which gave token that there was mucu more tnan any mere formality in all these signs and seals of hospitality and good will. Thnm were few of our party who had ever before sailed on a body of water so extensive as to present on either hand a trackless and shoreless waste. Hence it was that the charmB of the landscape on our starboard ware deserted by the voyagers, who turned their eyes westward to the set ting sun wnicn was now gmug uowo towards the horizon surrounded by a crolden canopy, which stretched far across the heavens tempering the rays and gilding them with a glory which the finmnao-na or Leucadia might have envied. But the loveliest of earth, whether taugible forms or in tangible essences anu ureams, must nasa awav: and ao the glory which crowned Ontario this beautiful even-incr norm faded into the sober gray of twilight, in the midst of which we rounded to ut the wharves of Oswego.

As the head of our steam er turned towards the shore every thing In the harbor or on the land that could send forth a note Boreamed a joyous welcome. It seemed that not less than forty or fifty steam whis tles alone were pouring forth their fierce notes. Besides this there wore drums, brass bands ami snouts arising from the multitudes who lined the wharves. As the distance to the Doolittle Hotel was short we walked thither. preceded by a splendid baud which discoursed most eloquent music- Here the committee of arrabgemeuts headed by Mr.

J. Place, of the Times, resident elect ot tne isew York Editorial Association, had made all ready for our accommodation aud as soon as it could be done we were assigned our rooms, and bade prepare for the banquet at 10 o'clock. We found the hotel to be a splendid establishment and its proprietor, Mr. Biu- uen ana bis cierKs, men ot genial accommodating turn, who possessed the happy faculty of making their gUests feel at ease and "at home." This faculty, bo less than the fare, builds Up and popularizes a hotel; but here, in addition to these qualifications in the hosts, we found a marked excellence of fare Which verv seneiblv Impressed the Doolittle House on our memories. Beneatn the house is a medicinal spridcr, called the Depti Rock Spring, which sends forth Waters so nearly resembling the most popular oi tnose at mratoga tnat tue taste or a connoisseur is requisite to distinguish between them.

All Oswego Uses them and many are the stories told of their curative enecis. At tea o'clock the large dlnfnir hall of the hotel was filled with the digni taries and prominent citizens of the city, Among these Were Mayor xuuunor, jiatuer jremer, lHornsnace, ja, uarry or the ram dium and other members of the pres3 whose names I Was not so fortunate as to learn.

You of New York brought us last year olive branches of peace, and we now return them covered with blossoms.

We were not, neither are we enemies, and such being the case what an eaBy matter it is to heal the wounds. 18 it not your merest to see us reuuu-ed? Are you sure that the panic, the prostration of business at the North.ls not chargeable in a great degree to the disordered stateof affairs at the South? What is the condition of Alabama to day She is as prosperous as can be expeoted under the circumstances, Those who visited us last year told you of her condition, and the information thev conveyed has had its salutary ef fect.

Our State is as large as yours. We have not your large lakes and rivers, and grand Falls of Niagara, but we have coal enough to melt all the ice of vour lakes, and iron enough to gir dle the world. Alabama has not been ruined worth a cent. You think you have fine farms, and you have, but come down to Aianama and I win sen you better ones for five dollars an acre. We want your muscle and your capi tal, to help U3 develop the mineral resources of our State.

Even your women are crowded for room, and surely you can spare us a portion of your peopled We have been handsomely treated since we touched New York, but in no place have we been more warmly welcomed than in Oswego. After paying a tribute to the statesmen, poets, men of genius and politicians of New Tork, Judge Smith closed by thanking the people ofOiwego for their hospitality. The toast, "Tbe Press of Alabama," called for a response from Col. R. H.

Powell, of the Union Springs Ledger, who, after returningthanks for the re ception, said that from the visit of last year a traternat reeling between JNew York and Alabama bad sprung up, a feeling that was unknown before the war. The war was not the result of hatred on tbe part of the people, for eveu during the bloody days the boys in blue and the boys in gray often met on friendly terms and exchanged courtesies. We are now united, we are enemies no more. Next year, when we celebrate the centennial in Philadelphia, let us remember that we are all brothers of a common country. Ool.

Brewer of Hayneville offered the following "Our hosts May their prosperity be as boundless as their hospitality," which was responded to' by Mr. Morris Place in a speech of iome length, complimentary of the Southern visitors. In closing he said "Providence and nature have given us a common woric, tue planting the tree of liberty oil this Mr. J. A.

Place offered "Liberty anu union, one anu inseparable, now anu rorever." It was in response to this toast that By. Randolph, of the Made made that humorous and telling spoech which has since gone the round of the Alabama press. It was recolved with uproarious applause. Col. R.

"The clergy a free pulpit and free press, the true salvation of the country," brought Rev. David Tully to his feet. He made a happy speech in which he gave remlnlsolences of nis visit to Alabama, many years ago and the hospitality he received.

George Si. Pickett. Major General George E. Pickett, of Virginia, died at Norfolk, July 30th, after a brief illness. Deceased, who was the eldest son of the late Col.

Robert Pickett, of Henrico county was born in the city of Richmond-, In June, 1842, he entered West Point, from "whence he graduated in June, 1846. lathe autumn of the latter year he was assigned to duty in the Eighth liifantry with the rank of brevefcsecond and joined the United State army then, in Mexico in time to par ticipate in Gen. Scott's expedition against Vera Cruz and to march upon the Mexican capital. The Eighth infantry formed a portion of Gen Worth's command, and Lieutenant Piokett was noticed in the reports of Gen. Scott, for his gallant conduct in the battles of Contreras, Clierubusco, Molino Del Bey and Chepultepec and "for gallant and meritorious conduct" at the last named battle he received the brevet rank of Captain.

"When Virginia speeded from the TJniott in 1SG1 -Captain Pickett, who had since the close of the Mexican war been on active duty in Texas, New Mexico, Oregon and Washington Territory, responded to the call of his native Stato. and re signing his commiasion hastened to Richmond, the then capital of the Southern Confederacy. He was at once commissioned as Colonel, and assigned to duty on the lower Rappahannock. In February, 1802, he was made a Brigadier in Lonqstrbet's Division of the Army of the Po tomac. The command to which he was assigned participated with honor in the stubbornly contested battles of Williamsburg, Seven Plne3 and Gaines' Mills, General' Pickett receiving at the lust named place a severe wound in the shoulder, whioh dis-abled him for several mouths.

It was subsequently, at the battle of Gettys burg, however, that General Pickett made the; most brilliant mark in his military career. On that memorable occasion PicfciTT's division covered itself with glory by its heroic charge upon "the iron-clad crest of Gettys burg," led by their favorite com man uer in person. Every brigadier in the division fell and its ranks lost about three-fourths of their number in the terrible struggle for victory. After fetreafc of Lee's army from Pennsylvania Gen. Pick-Sit was placed in command of the Department of Virginia and North Carolina, and he organized an attack upon Newbern, North Carolina, then in possession of the federal forces and strongly fortified.

He failed in this Undertaking, bat tinder "such, circum stances (bat he added to his reputation as ah energetic and able commander, in May, 18GI, when Gen. Butler threatened Richmond, with his troops occupying City PoiiitS and Bermuda Hundred, Gen. Pickett.wIio had pre- vlousJybeen relieved of his command, was ordered to remain and defend Petersburg. This he did, holding all the approaches with new levies of bad ly armed men till he was succeeded by General Beauregard, who had ar- rived with reinforcements of veteran troops. In the last act of the war.

be fore Petersburg, Pickett and his he roic men figured, with conspicuous gallantry. In the battle of Five Forks his division bore the brunt and only I gave way when the Federal force became overwhelming. After this crushing defeat General Pickett, with the1 scattered remnants xt his men, retreated toward Amelia Court House. He subsequently reported to General IiOngstreet, wh6ta he served till the S.mthern army was finally surrendered and dispersed.

Gov. Allen Interviewed.

A reporter for one of the Western papers has interviewed Hon. Wil liam Allen, Governor of Ohio, and here is what he had to say of "the popular current." "To what do you refer by the term "popular current," Gov. Alien?" "I refer, sir, to the grand and universal movement of the people which began in 1S7S. whioh increased in volume and momentum in which will keep on increasing and crushing everything before it until it nas swept irom place and power tbe lost vestige of Radicalism, Grantism, Ringism and all the other scoundrel-Isms. I refer to the revolution of the ballot, which is now upon us.

and which will prove hardly less significant in its results than did that revolution of tbe bullet and tbe bayonet through which we have but recently passed. Let me illustrate: Last year we closed our canvass in Ohio the day before tbe election. Our meetings had not been large, except in isolated in stances, aud but very little enthusiasm nau been manifested by tbe people at any stage of the campaign. Just as I was auouc to start tor my nome at Cbiilcothe the night before election, I met Mr. Thurman, and We talked of tbe morrow's prospects.

I said to him that I thought our State ticket would carry by about 5,000 majority, and that we would gain two or three members of Congress. Mr. Thur- mun was not so sanguine. He was in hopes the Stats ticket would carry, but he feared there would not be so much of a gain in the Congressional districts as I had indicated, Be adverted to tbe apathy manifested by the people and seemed to think that if we held our own we would be doing pretty well, Upon this we separated and I went home, On the morning of election uay drove uown to town (Chillicothe) in my buggy to vote and to see how things looked. There was no excitement about the polling pla ces, I never saw an election pass off so-ouletlv.

Men came Quietly, voted sneuiiy, ana went away peaceiuny, I could not understand it. I thought the vote would tie very iigbc, and im agined, as did many others, that the abuses of cower and of trust that had SO long been rife had so disgusted and diHeartenea tne people tnat tuey nau lost their interest In elections. But when the votes werecounted Wefotind that a very heavy vote had been poll ed, And we found the Democratic majority away ahead of our wildest hones. But one explanation was pos sible. The people the bankrupted tradesmen, tue impoverished larmers and the unemployed laborers had voted silently.

They had not made any fuss or hurrah about it, but, by tfoa, incu naa votea, gnmiu ana to They had felt the iron in the flesh, and. tracing1 back the direction whence the blow dame, they had located the Cause of their woes at Washington, fit is impossible to con vey along; with his words, wnioh are here given verbatim, any Idea of the old Governor's adimatiori of gesture ann manner, xuat muse oe imasin ed.1 Yes. air. at Washington, Arid wnen tbey bad found out where to put lueit piows in tney sent tnem nome ouoiguu ijurae. xae History or tnis country, abd thehlstory of England as well, is without another such exempla- administration.
